Drowning beneath
the weight
of my hurt and burdens
Pain rolling down my cheeks
In the form of tears.
How I try to hide my grief
As it all seeps out,

When the words
"Are you okay?"
Fall upon my ears,
Tears make their way
Down my cheeks,
Leaving cold, wet streaks
Along my skin;
Telling my lie,
Showing my pain.
How I try to hide it.

I'm not okay.
I'm not happy,
The will to live,
Gradually leaving me.

I can't do this anymore.
